Hundreds of Serbian Prisoners Lose Reason Through Cruelty Practiced by Austrian Captors

PARIS, June 13. The minister of Serbia in Paris. M. Vesnitch, communicates an official statement of the mistreatment of soldier and civilian Serbians imprisoned and Interned in Austria and Hungary. "In spite of the difficulties of ascertaining facts in regard to prisoners of war as interned civilians," says the statment, "Serbian authorities have been sble to get some precise facts that may be made public now. "Soldiers and civilians are huddled In wooden barracks in unhealthy marshy districts along the banks of the Danube. They sleep on the bare floors with no bedding but thin, litter of straw, and with only old blankets for covering, while the roofs and sides of the barracks afford little shelter. Guards Beat 'Em. "Their nourishment consists of fodder beet3 and a quarter of a loaf of bread made with musty cornmeal and wild chestnuts! None of these prisoners nor interned civilians have had any meat for several months? although they are forced to hard labor under the guard of exempted soldiers who beat them with the butt ends of rifles, tie them to posts, or suspend them for more than two hours at a time for slight Infractions of discipline. "Many interned civilians and sol dlers have succumbed - to this treatment, among them Costa Patrovltch, of the Eighth Regiment of the First Ban, of the Branau Camp, in Bohemia, where there are about 35,000 soldiers and civilians confined. This camp Is under the command of an Austrian cenoral who seems unable to prevent the brutality and severity of his subalterns. Many Lose Minds. "A great many of both soldiers and civilians have lost their minds as a icsult of physical and mental suffering in these camps'. An Austrian doctor told of how he had seen at Krizeac (near Agraml more than 3,000 insane Serbian soldiers and civilians. A reliable witness reports having observed in a hospital at Matheuean more than 100 Serbian soldiers who bad lost their minds. Many others remain crippled because of neglect by the corps physicians. "During the typhus epidemic In Aus tria-Hungary 1G.0OO Serb soldiers died tnd were buried by hundreds in common graves In one part alone of MathRiisen. A false Inscription, evidently intended to hide the result of neglect was placed by the Austrians on a

chapel raised at that place, reading, 'Serbian soldiers who died ofwounds received in the Serblan-Austro-Hun-garian War which was provoked by Serbia..' ... Hospitals Are Full. There Is. little place in hospitals for ailing prisoners or Interned . civilians as they are mostly full of wounded Austrians. Those of the Serbian sol tilers and civilians who had clothing that was fit to wear were deprived of it by the Austrians. . It was taken to make cloth for Austrian soldiers while rags were given inexchange. A few soldiers who succeeded in getting into hospitals to be treated, though wounded and sick, are made to work In the hospital kitchens while there. "Photographs have reached us .of soldiers who died in the mines, where according to reliable information, both soldiers and civilians are employed in work that is beyond their strength, died by hundreds. , Used . on Firing Lines. "News has reached us, also that the Serbian soldiers are employed on the Italian and Russian fronts tocarry munitions to the first firing line, to dig trenches, to pick up wounded on the field of battle, to carry water to the soldiers, and even to put barbed wire defenses under the fire of Italian and Russian guns. "Many soldiers have perished on the Italian front from Italian shells; more than .400 of them wounded on the Isonzo front, were at one time in the Branau camp; only eighty of them recovered."" "The Austro-Hungarian authorities invent political offenses against the

Serbian officers, soldiers and civilians, some of them were prosecuted for having taken part in the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand."

GERMANS FORCED TO ABANDON POSITIONS

LONDON, June 14 Important sections of the German front between the Lys River and St. Yves have been abandoned by the Germans, it is announced officially. British troops followed the retreating Germans closely and made considerable progress east of Ploegstaart wood. The official statement says: ' "Our further advance east of Messines, combined with the pressure of our troops south of the front of our attack has compelled the enemy to abandon important sections of his first line defensive system in the area between the river Lys and St. Yves. Our troops have followed up the enemy closely and have made considerable progress east of Ploegsteert wood. We also gained ground during the night in the neighborhood of Gaspard. "We raided enemy trenches last night north of Bullecourt and south of Hooge and captured a few prisoners in each case."

Your Home Is On Fire Can You Wait Unfil Alter a Rain "Because Water is Scarce" to Put It Out? Our Sons Are in War. We Must Prepare Now, If We Expect to Save From Death.

The canvassers who will call on the citizens of the county are a very busy lot of people and should not be requited to call more than once. Every citizen should be prepared to give. The excuse "that this is an inopportune time because we have been called upon so much, cannot be accepted. WE ARE IN WAR and must accept its responsibilities. If your house is on fire you cannot excuse yourself by complaining that the water is scarce and you will wait until after a ram to put it out. If your son is lying wounded on the battlefield, shall they leave him lie there until they notify you in America or do you want them to tenderly care for him, nurse him to life and send him back to you. The Red Cross is the only organization prepared to perform this act of mercy.
